Black DTS Convention?

[c5 rv]

Yesterday, I parked the SRX next to a black DTS in the handicapped area of a local restaurant we frequent. (Lil Chef in Brighton, MI) By the time I got my wife's wheelchair out and we got inside, our waitress had our drinks set up at our usual table, just inside the window from my front bumper. Yes, I like to keep an eye on our car when we go out to eat. However, this time I spent most of the time admiring the DTS. (It was an 09 premium luxury edition with the 17" chrome wheels with exposed lugs, tan pinstripes, and light linen interior with a bench seat. The wheel wells were still clean.) Then another black DTS parked in the lot. (non-perf edition, probably an 06 or 07) Then another black DTS made a couple passes through the lot, like they were looking to pick someone up.

As we left the restaurant, I mistakenly wheeled my wife's chair up next to the DTS instead of our SRX. Freudian mistake?

Sure does sound like it.

Looks like you will be joining the ranks of DTS owners
Whether you (consciously) know it now or not.

CPO DTS or Lucerne CXS, depending on what I find when I start looking this winter.

I knew that...was just having fun with your Freudian slip.

I will probably be looking for a CPO 2010 DTS Performance Platinum as soon as the 2011's come out.

I will have over 100,000 on this one by then and the GMPP will be running out.
I don't think I want one as complicated and expensive to work on, as these cars are, without a warranty.

But, in fairness, after the first few months, with a few electrical problems, I haven't has any more trouble...YET.

But that is why I got the GMPP just before the factory warranty ran out. JUST IN CASE it might be needed.

I just returned my 2006 DTS Performance (the lease was up) - Crimson Pearl with black Tuscany Leather. Was a great car, I hope the person that picks it up as a used car (probably CPO, since it was in very nice condition) enjoys it as much as I did. Barely broken in with 33,000 miles. I miss my "Ruby" some days.

My wife likes that color. My MKZ is red and I don't know if I want another red car for a while.
